Raiders spoil Magpies party

The Magpies had their opportunities to hit back but solid defence from the Raiders meant the visitors took the win 18-10. There were many positives from the match with the Magpies showing they can compete against one of the competition’s heavy-weights.

The team was also forced to rely on just a single substitute rather than the usual four.

There is still time for anyone interested in joining the club to sign up.

The final cut off for players to join is June 30.

The under 9s played their most consistent game of the season against the Wingham Tigers at Wingham.

The team’s defence and tackling was great.

Sam Whittaker took three points, Hamish Wakefield two points and Rhys Summerville one point.

Price Crane, Dean Franks and Travis Johnston all played great games.

The team is still developing and is going to be a real force in years to come.
